Anyone see why a $r = Apache=SCALAR(0x8461790) might not
respond true to $r->can('filename') on Ilya's below FreeBSD
setup? The relevant ASP code is below.
Ilya, worst case, you can tweak that code to make it
work for you, for example does a line like
unless($r && ($r =~ /^Apache/)) {
work instead ? This might be a suitable test.
--Josh
sub handler {
my($package, $r) = @_;
my $status = 200;
# allows it to be called as an object method
ref $package and $r = $package;
# rarely happens, but just in case
unless($r && $r->can('filename')) {
# this could happen with a bad filtering sequence
warn(<<ERROR);
No valid request object ($r) passed to ASP handler; if you are getting
this error message, you likely have a broken DSO version of mod_perl
which often occurs when using RedHat RPMs. One fix reported is to
configure "PerlSendHeader On". Another fix is to compile
statically the apache + mod_perl build as RedHat RPMs have been trouble.
Please check FAQ or mod_perl archives for more information.
